Title: Something Like This

Series: The Men of Evansdale County, Book 3

Author: Alyne Hart

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 18, 2018

Vincent Owen. He was gorgeous. He was cocky. He was a complete and total douche bag, and I was head over heels for him.

He left to become a champion, a warrior amongst men. And though he said he would call, I never heard from him again.

I never admitted to him how I felt. I never told him he made everything inside of me that hurt go away and everything that was wrong with me feel right - even if it were just for a little while. And that when he left, he took a little piece of me with him, a piece of my heart I could never get back.

That was then, and this is now and none of that matters anymore.

It all changed the day my daughter Violet was born. I moved on, life became about her and keeping my family ranch running. But now he's back to pay his respects to the man his best friend considered a father. A man our whole town loved, and he's about to find out that's not the only thing waiting for him in Evansdale.

Alyne Hart is a contemporary romance author and wine connoisseur living in Walla Walla, WA. She's known for writing stories that pack an emotional punch and get you right in the feels. She loves writing very real and very flawed characters and writing about real, gritty and raw romance . She's a romance junkie and happy endings addict, and if you’re a lover of deeply emotional, flawed and raw reads with lots of delicious angst, her books are for you. Alyne's stories involve characters with bigger problems than just finding love. She writes stories about making peace with the past, rekindling old flames and healing old wounds. She loves small towns, men in uniform and alpha males with a heart of gold. She began her story-telling journey first with her dolls, then it progressed to paper. She has a deep love for anything romantic, and she's a believer that in love anything is possible. When Alyne isn’t writing, you can find her reading, hanging out with her cat, and spending time with her two children. She enjoys trips to the mountains just as much as trips to the wine cellar, live music, chick flick movie marathons and hanging out with her eclectic group of friends.

Christine Baxter was having a helluva night. Her blind date had run out on her and the check. She had run into a mugger who tried to steal her purse and succeeded. And finally, her beloved Beetle, Pinkie, had run out of gas on a deserted highway. Her only hope was a dimly lit club sign on the other side of a deep embankment riddled with trash. Apparently, her guardian angel had the night off.

Gabriel Easton and Michael Westmoreland were best friends looking for that special woman to share their lives and their bed. When the beautiful blonde literally fell through their club door, they thought their prayers had been answered. Michael knew she was sent from heaven. Gabriel felt she was hell on heels. Both agreed that she was perfect for them.

And Christine? Well, she thought she was in a lot of trouble.

Michael sighed. “Okay. We can’t send her out like this.” He shook his finger at Gabe. “But you check her. And notify someone that she’s here.”

Gabe nodded. “I’ll even stay up with her tonight.”

“I have no doubt that you’re going to be ‘up’ tonight, but you’re just going to have to suffer. The woman’s in no shape to fend off your seductions.”

Gabe was affronted. “I have no intention of that tonight,” he hissed. “God, you’d think I was a rapist or something.”

Mike saw Christine glance up in fear at hearing the word, and he hastened over to help her to her feet and explain that Gabe’s mouth overrode his brain on a daily basis.

“Gabe!” Mike scowled at him. He really did sound like some serial predator.

“I have an ex-husband and a friend, but she has three kids at home. I wouldn’t want to bother her.”

“Well, then, it’s either us or the hospital. Which would you prefer?”

Her lips trembled as a tear spilled down her cheek. “I don’t have any health insurance yet, so I guess it’s here.” She straightened. “But I’ll be gone in the morning and I insist on paying you for your hospitality.”

Gabe started to protest, but Mike waylaid him with a hand on his shoulder. “We can talk details later. For now, let’s get you comfortable upstairs.” He reached for her gently and cradled her in his arms, trying not to think about how good she felt right there.

Gabe trudged behind them, opening the elevator to the top of the warehouse. When it stopped with a slight bounce, the door opened, and he ushered them in to a stunningly decorated room. “Welcome home.”

Both Michael and Christine hesitated at the unusual pronouncement.

“For tonight,” Christine murmured.

“Of course,” Gabe hastened to reply while Michael walked into the spare bedroom, wondering why he suddenly wanted her to stay forever.

They’re the Vendetti crime familia, the most powerful mafia
name in New York...

Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to
the Vendetti Empire and the capo dei capi’s throne, he’s only required to
do one thing. He must get married to prove that he’s matured and is stable
enough to take over. The stipulation doesn’t sound like much of a
challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet’s the Bottaro
Princessa, not just a random woman he met by chance in another
country.

She’s young—too young by his standards.

She’s headstrong—a problem for a dominant man like
Matteo.

She’s desirable—the biggest issue of all.

Before long, Matteo’s questioning himself, wondering if
Violet’s really such a burden, or if just maybe, he’s falling in love with
something other than the Empire.

Warning - This book is EXTREMELY STEAMY! Be prepared with
wine and a fan!

"WOW! Matteo and his brothers are HOT! By the time you finish
The Vendetti Empire you’re not going to know which one you love the most. I’ll
happily take them all!" – Victoria Ashley,
New York Times Bestselling Author

Excerpt

Her gaze flicks at me curiously, no doubt wondering what I’m
in for and how I got to be the one in line to marry Matteo in the first place.
His bloodline is practically Italian royalty, and I’m not from their part of
Italy. If we were home, I wouldn’t be considered “good enough” for him, and I’d
more than likely be his throwaway whore than his wife. I don’t know how my
father pulled it off, either. Sure, we’re part of the five influential families
in Chicago, but marrying the boss of bosses in New York is a damn big deal in
our world. My papa no doubt had some favors in his back pocket he called
in.

I also can’t help but wonder, who could want us dead that
badly for him to show his hand to the Vendettis?
